About Us

In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Northgate Staircase locks

These locks in Chester have paddles on one side only which means they take an age to fill. We arrived in the pouring rain and thought we would have a really miserable time going through them, but luckily the rain stopped and stayed away for the rest of the day.
